Chapter 161
That was, to describe it more accurately .
At least, that’s what the king of the gargoyles felt .
That human sorcerer with brown hair .
He didn’t appear to the king of the gargoyles as a human being .
‘Weaker than I thought . ’
On the other hand, Ian was at ease . At least, he felt many tens of folds easier compared to when he had faced the dragon . Of course, the power of the gargoyles’ king was in the headcounts though .
But since the source of his power was being kept at bay at the entrance of the cave, it would render useless .
‘Should slowly subdue him now . ’
How long the shield at the entrance would hold was not known . It was better to subdue him when possible . If it was possible to interrogate this entity, that would be attempted . However, assessing the conditions of the bastard, that choice would need to be forgone .
“Let me end it . ”
A gigantic hand appeared above Ian’s head . The pair of hands of ice mimicked exactly that of Ian’s hands . The looks of them and the movements all exactly mimicked Ian’s hands .
(Kwaaaak-!)
That gigantic ice hands snatched the bastard’s wing . Was that all? It ripped up the right wing from there . The screams of the gargoyles’ king echoed loudly throughout the cave .
(Stop! Stop! You . . humaaaan-!)
At that moment . An unfamiliar voice struck inside of Ian’s head . The nasty voice that brought out the utmost unpleasantness from just by listening, it was certainly the gargoyle’s voice .
“You could talk?”
Ian relieved the enormous pressure that he was exerting through the ice hands . Instead, he held him lightly and brought him close to his face . The two entities, Ian and gargoyles’ king, finally met each other’s eyes, for the first time .
“… . . ?”
Soon, Ian felt awed .
The bastard’s eyes were truly weird .
It wasn’t that he was one eyed or had no eyeballs .
It surely wasn’t such an issue .
“The eyes… . . ”
Half bow, they were exactly a half bow shape .
Both of gargoyle’s eyes were exactly half bowed .
That is, only half remained in each eye .
It was as if that much was torn apart .
It was beyond being grotesque .
(Allegrapo . )
It was right then .
It was truly in a blink of an eye .
That was, in the time that Ian stared into the bastard .
It didn’t even come to a few seconds .
That’s how long it was for sure .
(Hoonkanathio,Harknap!)
Allegrapo, Hookanathio, Harknap .
The words that could not be interpreted came into his head .
“Kr… . . !”
Ian let out a painful moan .

Indescribable pain overtook him .
Even the ice hands were melting away .
Exactly what witchcraft is this?
The answer was immediately found .
‘Petrification… . . ?’
Ian’s body was hardening stiff .
It wasn’t an ordinary symptom of paralysis .
He has begun to transform into a stone .
It was ‘petrification’ as the word suggested .
‘Let’s be calm . Be calm . ’
Ian held on to the last strain of his consciousness .
And he thought it out first of all .
First, the king of the gargoyles .
‘Even that bastard’s body was hardening . ’
The problem would be much bigger, should Ian be the only one turning into a stone .
However, the king of the gargoyles also began to petrify .
It appeared to be the power of some type of a suicidal bomb .
‘Petrification is the ability to enter the dimensionless space . ’
He thought of the information that the spirit of Reeses Rajendu had spared him . At the end of the petrification process, the body turns into a stone, the mind enters the dimensionless space . That is, even Ian’s mind would enter the dimensionless space .
‘I would enter the same dimensionless space with the bastard . ’

Based on the process, that was the most likely scenario .
Of course, it could have been the bastard’s plan all along .
‘If I can only stay focused, I can somehow… . . ’
When Ian’s thoughts reached that point .
The blurring view turned into darkness .
Even the thought process has stopped for that moment .
It was the effect of the body, completely turning into a hard stone .
‘… . . !’
How much time has passed, having been in that condition?
His lost mind has woken up .
Even the vision returned from the darkness .
‘This is… . . ?’
The gargoyle’s cave that he was in .
At least, this wasn’t that place .
The prairie that was filled with purple sand .
There was even purple lightening .
Kwaaang! K-k-kwaaaaang-!
Beyond being unfamiliar, it was a disparate space .

Even the king of the gargoyles came into his view .
As if he was used to it, the bastard flew away to somewhere .
Although an immediate attempt was made to chase after him, it was impossible .
That was because no magic could be initiated at all .
‘This was different than the repository of time . ’
Ian calmly surveyed the surroundings . In a short time, he couldn’t help, but be astonished . A nebulous landscape, at the end of the direction to which the gargoyle flew, came into his view . That was the issue .
“… . . ?”
A gigantic purple sphere . The sphere that was as big as if the gargoyle’s eye has been magnified by tens and thousands folds, was levitating in the air . The purple lightening that was thought to be from the sky was also the energy that was spewing out of that sphere .
Yet, there was an entity that has captivated Ian’s eyes .
And it wasn’t the purple sphere .
Of course, the sphere was also astonishing .
However .
“No… . . ”
The entities were surrounding the purple sphere . With each one’s mana power, the entities were helping to maintain the sphere’s form . The countless number of entities came into his view . There was no wonder . The identities of the entities were very definite, and familiar .
“… . . Dragon?”
The spirit of Reeses Rajendu .
The speculation that he had made was correct .
The dragon race that was thought to have been extinct .
They existed in the ‘dimensionless space’ .
